EFFECTS OF THE "OLEo" LAw.-Assist-
ant State Dairy Commissioner Van Walk
enberg of New York, discussing the effects
of the oleomargarine law in his State, said :
" It is true that State dairy butter is no
higher now than it was two years ago at
this time. The reason, however, for this is
plain. Previous to the enactment OF the
law thousands and thousands of COWS
throughout the country were allowed to go
dry throughout the winter, because, in
many instances butter would only bring
six or seven cents pound to the farmer.
But when the oleomargarine law passed
the price of genuine butter went up all over
the country. The dairy business was slim
ulated to high degree, and enoug b butter
was produced TO keep down prices here.
estimate that over 100000 worth has
been produced. This shows whether the
butter business has been benefited or not.
Think what the law has done for the con-
sumner, in giving him good butter for the
price which he has heretofore been COM
pelled to pay for the bogus article. This is,
after ali, the great gain. The recent strikes
have also done much to depress the butter
market. OF the 10000 grocers in New York
and Brooklyn. not 200 have taken out
license to sell the stuff. In round numbers,
| should say that one-tenth as much oleo-
margarine is now sold as before the passage
of the law"

PATr1s PECULIAR BATHs-A popularity
in connection with Nine. PATHS toilet has
been revealed. 1t appears that when the
diva goes to her BATH which she takes
about o'clock on the evenings she is to
sing, she never allows the water to touch
her neck and face, although the rest of her
body is religiously immersed. She has a
singular theory that hot r.cold water pro-
duces wrinkles, and it is certainly some
sort of proof that her theory is correct
that. in spite of her being considerably
over 40 years of age, there is not wrinkle
visible on her neck, throat or face. Of
course she insists that she keeps equally
clean by means of cold cream, which she
uses in copious quantities, generally spread
ing it on her face and neck and leaving it
there while her maid goes through the
hair dressing process, often period OF an
hour or so. Then the cold cream is taken
off very carefully with a towel, and Nine.
Patti considers herself washed. If all this
be true, our popular songstress has not
washed herself tor fifteen years.

THE CoLoRs OF CANARIEs.-With regard
to the yellow color of the canary bird and
its testimony to Mr. Darwins theory, it is
said that, after domestication in Belgium,
Germany, and England "a point with which
temperature or climate may have had
something to do, the birds threw up on the
feathers small patches of yellow of lighter
color, and by carefully matching. those
birds that had the largest number of these
patches the breeders at length, and after a
considerable period, succeeded in obtaining
bright and uniform yellow color, more
closely resembling what are called the
clear birds of to-day. But the applica-
ton of the phrase, canary color" to indi-
cate special shade of yellow, though gem
eral, is not justified by the facts. Canaries
of pure breed are to be found of many
colors Whole breeds are green; and, by
feeding on pepper and other seeds, canaries
have been produced of cinnamon and coffee
color, and even of red and, in the Lizard
variety, the bird, though yellow in the
l'crown, is elsewhere shaded and spangled
in the most lovely manner.-AU the Year

ORIGIN OF DRINKING THE HEALTH.-The
apparently meaningless custom of drink
ing a mans health in a social glass is an
cient, before you find It's meaning. When
gods were deceased ancestors, they were
dined and wined and toasted; that is, they
had the best of everything, for they were
supposed still to be capable of hunger and
thirst. But IS the dead could only smell
sweet savors' and take of the odors of the
wine. the living drank the cups for them.
To drink a good cup was religious and
pious custom. So, one friend meeting an
other, called down the blessing of the gods
on him by drinking gods cup with him.
OF course one good turn deserves another,
and the two would quaff to each others
health, instead of uttering prayer. Now
adays, in Tom Aliens saloon, down
Rogue alley, two roysterers drink healths
with rosy noses and watery eyes, little
knowing what it means.-G Globe Democrat.

FEED-PENs FOR CHICKS.
All who try to raise chickens in the old
style way know how hard it is to get
enough for the little ones to eat. When
ever food is thrown out to them the old
hens rush and pick it up, crowding or driy-
ing the little ones away. In such feeding,
a pen which the chickens can enter. but
which will not admit the old hens, is a
necessity. This is really the only way to
enable the little ones to get enough to eat
Such pens can be easily made by any one
who can handle lumber. One is made by
laying poles up in Lighthouse fashion. The
spaces between the poles are just large
enough to let the chickens run through.
Boards are placed over the top and held in
place by stones or blocks. Stakes are
driven into the ground with an ak the
proper distance apart. Boards of brush
can be laid over the top. Something a
little more elaborate is made of lath aud
scantling. Food and water placed in the
inside of either of these coops will go to
the chickens

PRESERVATION OLE EGGS.

Australian eggs are preserved in the fol-
lowing simple manner The vessels in
which the eggs are to be placed are glass
jars with patent shoppers, vulcanized India
rubber Joints making them perfectly air.
tight As soon as the eggs have been col
lected, the Jars are stood in hot water tor
some time, and left until the air in them
has become thoroughly warm and rarified.
The jars having been heated, the eggs are
wrapped up in paper to prevent them
knocking together, and placed IN warm
receptacle, their pointed ends being upper
most. The jars are Immediately closed up,
and then, and not till then, are removed
from the hot water. 1t is said that if this
process is skiilfully carried out, the eggs
will be as fit for the breakfast table
as the day they were laid, many months
after they were put in the jar. The great
secret of success in carrying out this
method is, no doubt, to thoroughly heat
the air in the jars. The eggs will stand
better chance of keeping if the paper in
which they are packed is previously baked
and used warm. Patent-stoppered jars are
not absolutely necessary, any stopper an
swering which effectually excludes the air.
At the late Birmingham, Eng, cattle show,
prizes were offered for the best dozen of
preserved eggs, and they were given, as was
the case the year previous, to those pre-
served in simple lime and water, or packed
in dry salt. Samples were shown covered
with melted suet, beeswax, oil or lard, and
all these were good. But, strange to say,
one exhibit, which had been rubbed over
with pure vaseline as laid. was the worst
of all. All the eggs were putrid.

greater than will pay to apply
that crop alone, hence us almost inyari-
ably grown secondary to some other crop
that is highly MANFRED, usually early cab
bages. When the cabbages are planted
out in rows two feet apart, the horseradish
is set out midway between the rows of
cabbages, and eighteen inches apart in the
rows. The sets are small roots cut off in
preparing the horseradish for market.
These are four to six inches long, and cut
square at the top and sloping below, SO
that they may be planted right end up.
These sets are planted in holes made by
light iron bar. SO deep that the top Of the
set is three inches below the surface: this
allows the cabbage to be cultivated as if
there were no horseradish there, and when

To those who occasionally kill sheep,
we would say: Remember the following
recipe for tanning a sheepskin. They
make the best kind of mats for the house
or carriage, and a good Cotswold skin, well
tanned, makes a good cushion for the
wagon seat, and for many uses it is valua-
BILE. For mats, take two long wool skins
and make a strong suds, using hot water;
when it is cold wash the skins in it, care
fully squeezing them between the hands to
get the dirt ont of the wool then wash
the soap out with cold, clear water. Then
dissolve alum and salt, each half pound,
with little hot water, sufficient to cover
the skins, and let them soak in it over
night for twelve hours; then hang them
over pail to drain. When they
are thoroughly drained spread or
stretch carefully over a board to dry.
When a little damp, have one ounce ofsalt-
petre pulverized, and sprinkle on the flesh
side OF each skin. rubbing in well then lay
the flesh sides together and hang in the
shade for two or three days. turning the
under skin uppermost every day until per
fectly dry, then scrape the flesh side with
blunt knife to remove any remaining scraps
of flesh Trim off projecting points rub
the flesh sides with the hands, and it will
be very white and handsome. suitable for
door or carriage mat. They also make
good mittens. Lambskins, or even sheep
skins, if the wool be trimmed off evenly TO
half or three-fourths of an inch long,
make beautiful and warm mittens for la
dies and gentlemen, and the girls with a
little practice can make them"

Considerable attention is being given to
olive cultivation in the Pomona valley this
season, and great many cuttings will be
set out. Mr.. Kingsley will plant the main
avenues of his tract with row of olive
trees taken from his San Gabriel ranch.
As an evidence of the great profit of olive
culture, the following from the San Luis
Obispo Tribune will show: An italian
gardener living on Choro street. some three
blocks north of Monterey street, this city,
planted several years ago small olive cut
ting about half as thick as an ordinary
lead pencil, and about two years later cut
a twig from the young tree, which he also
planted. Both these trees began bearing
at three years of age; and this year he
filled thirty-gallon barrel with the pro-
duct OF these trees, besides selling some
eight or ten gallons of olives to his neigh
bors." At 90 cents per gallon, or even
less, neat little sum was realized.-P0-
